touchcursor-linux VS zsh-histdb

I’m using this utility touchcursor-Linux I hope it helps

Hi, so I wanted to set up touchcursor for ubuntu like in windows. I used this repo https://github.com/donniebreve/touchcursor-linux. Did everything as instructed, but it's still not working. I found the keyboard name, edited the config, run make, make install, and restart. Still not working. Tried listing the running services and couldn't find touchcursor, is it not running or something? Has anyone faced the same issue? Please help, I really want it, can't work properly without it.

I'll check it out, right now I'm using https://github.com/donniebreve/touchcursor-linux and it works great but I always like to try out this sort of projects.

Totally agree with this. I use https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb slightly modified to work more smoothly for me. If I remember correctly, I tried Atuin but it messed up multi-line commands. Zsh-histdb handles them well.

Probably a bit overkill, but zsh-histdb stores a bunch of information about each command, including exit code, in an SQLite database. Perhaps you could draw some inspiration from that.

This the working directory of the command has been especially useful for me to get the context of what I did, not only the command itself.

(i use histdb for zsh, so i can easily do histdb-top).

This error comes from https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb. Perhaps open an issue there?

histdb 🥇 🚶‍♂️ ⏳ - Stores your history in an SQLite database. Can be integrated with zsh-autosuggestions.

zsh-histdb: store your command history in a sqlite database along with the exit status code and the directory the command was run in. Therefore no randomly losing portions of your command history based on which terminals you closed first or didn't close at all, and no getting weird garbage in your history from multi-line commands. I have a nearly complete history of every shell command I've typed since installing each of my machines.
